Your firmware has a VNC server and more, and the NSA has the key.
NSA cucked you through Intel.
Enjoy your hot new meme botnet PC.

intel AMT … enables independent remote access to PCs, independent of the power state of the PC.
Government spying tool thinly veiled as an automated maintenance and service feature.
Yep, it's a backdoor and all recent (since 2008 or so) Intel processors have it.
Enjoy, suckers.
>tfw the only way to avoid NSA spying is to remain off the grid, but trying to avoid being spied on makes you more suspicious to the NSA

I don't believe this is true at all. Many people have a range of interests and participation level with shit, staying largely off grid isn't that suspicious.
Every data point you don't emit is probably for the best, compared to emitting it.

I remember reading that the NSA flagged you as suspicious if you made a lot of cash transactions. It makes a lot of sense that the NSA tries to monitor people minimizing their presence on the grid. The NSA is always one step ahead of terrorists technologically, so terrorists more often than not try to be as low tech as possible. Ie: communicating with paper notes and stuff.

I'm not sure how effectively this can be traced though. Maybe if it's large cash transactions.

Yes but their main thrust is to just hoover everything up automatically through National Security Letter mandated backdoors in the infrastructure of the internet, right up to the infrastructure of your very PC and OS. If you're some fucking weirdo in a shack up to no good, you're going to be much more difficult to monitor.

From what we've seen here in the USA they use burner phones but rarely even encrypt their emails. In some parts of the world it's probably more down to HUMINT than SIGINT though. But not in the developed world.
Newer Intel machines can wake themselves up from an apparently 'off' state, and gain access to all capabilities listed above remotely, through wired, wifi, or cell phone data networks.

It's fairly easy to track if someone is using cash primarily. All you have to do is look at their bank history, and if they deposit and withdraw a lot of cash while making relatively few transaction over debit/credit card, then they get flagged as suspicious.
And the NSA knows that being a weirdo in a shack makes you harder to monitor, which is why they put more effort into spying on you if you don't do normal things like live on the grid so to speak.

If they're doing nothing to conceal it, sure.

The NSA is tasked exclusively with foreign intelligence collection, the FBI is the agency combing the backwoods for freaks in shacks.

Macs don't have this. Thinkpads do, and lenovo advertises it as a good thing.

Prove it.

That you know of anyway.

Any recent Intel machine may have vPro / iAMT even if it's not a listed feature.
A long time ago there was a girl who believed she was being spied upon through her computer. This was maybe in 2004 or so. The thing was, her infection appeared to transfer itself from machine to machine in her house, and also persist in certain hardware and re-infect a brand new machine when installed there.
She called it subversion hack. Maybe she was a bit nuts but none of it was out of the realm of technical capability, now that we know some of the things that Snowden was talking about.

mine does wake up from standby but i suspect its some sort of windows 7 termal thing
>tfw being on a list
God you people are fucking paranoid.
It literally has "on wired connection" on almost all of the important remote abilities, and they're all more remote low level control and basic info than they are VNC servers like one yard up above is claiming.
I'm sure all you retards that are sperging out about this run Windows 7 and think that there's no NSA spying when it's had a backdoor since it released.
The NSA spies on everything you do, and there is very little you can do to avoid it besides going full crazy and encrypting all communications and being completely off the grid. If you can't avoid it the best way to hide is in plain sight.
>>54698147
It's a good thing the NSA doesn't work with allied intelligence agencies to get around the "no domestic spying" thing.
>>54698533
Good point anon.

>>54698483
Hey look guys, it's either a shill or a guy who was in cryostasis until recently.
>>54698659
LOL.
ARM probably doesn't have the botnet, AMD CPUs might.
